[Timbob]

It looks ginger

Had not even considered a 182cup despite Evos rantings of how good it is.

Love that clour though.



Any pics please!

 

[XTR2000]

Wouldnt go as far as to class it as ginger though!

[Timbob]

Saw it at the MPH show at Earls Court.

sh*t reason to book a test drive i know as the car should speak for itself but that colour!!!!!!

 

[Timbob]

Cheers loony, pics dont do it justice!!!!

 

[TheRoninV6]

ive still not seen one in the flesh, but i should imagine that picture doesnt do it justice.

 

[Turkish]

tbh i wasnt overly fussed but yes they do look alot better in the flesh

[Turkish]

its not as orange as that, IIRC thats a poor photoshop done by renaults press department

 

[rcp]

its nice...but i dont know whether i could live with it every day

 

[Timbob]

ive had 3 black cars and think i need a bit of colour in my life.





I really like the yellow/blonde/gold colour aswell!

 

[Turkish]

get the liquid yellow, looks the b****cks with anthracite cup pack wheels

 

[Timbob]

Liquid yellow.... looks really nice aswell.





I know its not the right place but does the megane sport 225 come in these 2 colours and although NOT a direct comparison from an UNBIASED point of view how does the 182 compare to the megane?



Im an evo reader and in all the "Car of the year" or supercar tests they always stick in a 182 as a comparison and ALWAYS rave how good it is!!!

 

[Turkish]

the megane is a bigger car and aimed at a slightly different market still good but for what ive read it doesnt fair as well with direct competition as the 182 does with its rivals. it is available in inferno but im not sure its available in liquid yellow

 

[Timbob]

True.... i read the Leon Cupra R vs Megane 225 article in Evo and it didnt do too well!



Really warming to the 182 cup and is a lot cheaper than a megane 225 which i was prepared to pay for!!!!!

 

[Pete]

One of the guys here is getting a Meggy 225 as a courtsey car in a couple of weeks so Ill make sure I give it a good run then.

 

[Timbob]

Before i get banned for too many posts in a day ..........

does anyne know the 0-100 of a 182 cup.



thanks

Tim

 

[homerjay]

not much between the cup and standard 182

mostley depends on the colour (black bein the fastest of course)

most average about 17secs

 

[Moose1978]

Right Im ready for some stick here for a daft question but is the Clio Inferno the same colour as the Megane Inferno??

I would have said definately yes but you never know with Renault!http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1101845978__IMGP0243.jpg

[Liquidcool]

All these pics look far too Orange, they dont do it justice... its much nicer than that.. very nice choice.

 

[Nik]

These pics from of the Megane at the motorshow show the colour a bit better, havent come out quite so orange.

[182/172 lover]

there is also a red for the 182 it was on the front page of auto car ??? recently anyone see this or was it orange on a very dull day ???

 

[Turkish]

id say the latter or a photoshop. there is no red available on the 182

 

[Nik]

although god knows why not.......

Still, it makes my 172 more exclusive

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Inferno on the Megane is the same as that on the 182

 

[Timbob]

Anyone recommend a good place to buy one from. 182 Cup that is.....

Tinternet site, car supermarket. Or are the dealers quite forthcoming with discount (cant imagine they are lol)

 

[Turkish]

where are you based ?

 

[Timbob]

Derby mate.



Do you reckon that renault sport will uprate the clio again soon ie a 192 etc etc?



I would hate to own an evo or scooby with a new model coming out every other week!

 

[Ally]

Absolute quality descriptions of the car clours Timbob!

Not a great fan of the Inferno colour myself going on the pics Ive seen. Maybe it looks better in the flesh, but IMO in the pictures it looks a bit flat (hard to put into words). Maybe I just prefer the subtlety (sp?) of blue.

 

[Timbob]

Thanks



Based on the pics in this thread i can understand your POV.

Looks a lot better in the flesh!

ah right, if you were downsouth id reccomend the dealer i used. as for car supermarket/brokers i think people have had differing experiences but be aware that if you get an import it might be harder to shift when you sell it and it wont be worth as much as a UK car

there might be slight spec changes but there wont be another cliosport model until the new clio is launched. so probably about 2006 before a renaultsport variant appears

Cheers

Best price ive found so far is with http://www.autofinders.ltd.ukwww.autofinders.ltd.uk 11295 for a Cup. This is for a Cup in Inferno, not pre-registered & deliverd within 150 miles of Derby.

http://www.newregcars.co.ukwww.newregcars.co.uk want 11082 plus 325 for Met Paint. This is a Pre-Reg tho.

Both really good deals tho. Let me know if you find it cheaper

[Timbob]

Excellent thanks a lot are they reputable places???? Ill have a look!



What is the dealer likely to ask for the car, 13k .... 14k????

 

[Dai1916v]

Book prices are 182 £14700 & Cup £13800

I know its sad but I drew up a spreadsheet over the weekend comparing prices from all internet sites, most offering between 15 - 20% off book price.

 

[Timbob]

lol ill do some shopping around!!
